Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their dentist regarding their treatment options. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following crown-related questions:

1. Why do I need to get a crown?
   
   
2. What type of crown is right for me?
   
   
3. How closely will my crown match my natural teeth?
   
   
4. Will I need to have a root canal treatment or any other preliminary dental work?
   
   
5. How much of my natural tooth needs to be removed?
   
   
6. How long will I need to wear a temporary crown?
   
   
7. Should I make any modifications to my regular dental hygiene habits?
   
   
8. After the crown is placed, how frequently should I come in for dental appointments?
   
   
9. How long is my crown expected to last?
   
   
10. Is this procedure covered by my insurance policy?
